One-year secondment : Developer in GNSS time/frequency transfer

Posted on by admin

The BIPM (International Bureau of Weights and Measures) invites applications for a one-year secondee position in the Time Department, for developments in the field of GNSS time/frequency transfer with PPP and IPPP. The position may be extended to a second year.

Applications should be sent by 20 June 2021.

See more information on duties, employment conditions of such a secondee position, expected qualifications and experience, as well as on the application process in the announcement “One-year secondment – Developer in GNSS time/frequency transfer” at https://www.bipm.org/en/opportunities .

The BIPM is located at the Pavillon de Breteuil, Sevres, France, situated in the outskirts of Paris. The Time Department computes and disseminates the international reference time scale Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and provides traceability to the international system of units (SI) to local realizations of UTC maintained in national institutes.

EFTS 2021 – European Frequency and Time Seminar

Posted on by admin

The EFTS is a no-profit intensive full-week seminar intended to provide education and training with lectures and lab sessions. It targets the broadest audience: Engineers, Ph.D. students, post-docs, young scientists, newcomers, etc.
This seminar is unique in the following:

  • Broad spectrum of topics related to time and frequency
  • Balance between academic and applied issues
  • Broad target audience, yet keeping high level education
  • Lab sessions. The participants work themselves in small groups with a wide range of instruments made available.

The high level of training is guaranteed by the world-class Scientific Council and lecturers from the major European and International Institution.

Les Houches pre-doctoral school on “Quantum simulations with ultracold atomic gases”, September 13-24, 2021.

Posted on by admin

We are organizing a pre-doctoral school in Les Houches from 13 to 24 September 2021. This school is mainly intended for students at the early stage of their PhD. Depending on availability, a few applications from PhD students at a later stage in their graduate career could also be accepted, as well as junior post-doctorant researchers. It consists in a two weeks master course on the physics of cold atoms including the recent advances in this field. The first week will cover general aspects. The second week will focus more specifically on quantum simulations with cold atoms.

For more information, please visit the website: https://coldatoms2021.sciencesconf.org/ .

Lectures will be given (in English) by

Franck Pereira Dos Santos (LNE-SYRTE, Observatoire de Paris, France): Laser cooling and trapping

Ana Maria Rey (NIST-JILA, University of Colorado, USA): Ultra-cold collisions

Mikhail Baranov (University of Innsbruck, Austria): Quantum gases and superfluidity

David Clément (Laboratoire Charles Fabry, Institut d’Optique, France): Optical lattices

Monika Aidelsburger (University of Munich, Germany): Periodically driven optical lattices and topology

Hans-Peter Büchler (University of Stuttgart, Germany): Quantum magnetism

Thierry Giamarchi (University of Geneva, Switzerland): Quantum transport

Zoran Hadzibabic (University of Cambridge, UK): Non-equilibrium dynamics

Iacopo Carusotto (University of Trento, Italy): Quantum simulations with quantum fluids of light

The deadline for applications is June 13, 2021. The selection of the applicants will be done at the beginning of July.

The school is planned to be held in-person, but as the situation is always evolving due to the Covid-19, we will keep you updated.
